Dear Community:

As the Easter season comes to an end and we begin Ordinary Time, the Church invites us to continue walking in faith through the midst of daily life. After celebrating the joy of the Resurrection and the living presence of Christ among us, we are now called to discover God in the simplicity of each day, in our responsibilities, decisions, and encounters.

This week also marks the end of the school year for many of our children and young people. In a special way, our 8th grade students begin a new chapter filled with hopes, challenges, and opportunities. With grateful hearts, we thank God for all that has been lived and learned during this academic year, and we ask His blessing upon each of them as they embark on this new journey.

Likewise, some of our teachers and staff members are beginning new projects and horizons. Life is in constant movement: doors closing while others open, farewells and new beginnings. Every change brings challenges, but also opportunities to grow, to serve, and to discover new ways of responding to God’s call.

Amid all these changes, we must never forget that the Lord always walks beside us. As Saint Teresa of Ávila once said, “Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you; God never changes. Whoever has God lacks nothing.” May this certainty fill our hearts with peace and confidence, knowing that in every stage of life, God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit remain faithful and always accompany us.

Rev. Julio Fernandez
